We all get angry, sad, irritated, or anxious...but what if most of those emotions are really just discomfort showing up in different ways?

In this episode of Grappling in Thought, Amanda unpacks what it means to recognize discomfort beneath your emotions and how to pause before reacting. She shares how naming what you feel, taking a breath, and moving that energy through your body can shift you from reacting out of emotion to responding with intention.

You’ll learn how to:

• Catch yourself in the middle of an emotional moment

• Label your feelings without judging them

• Use pauses and grounding to release tension

• Communicate clearly instead of lashing out or shutting down

• See discomfort as a signal for growth, not danger

Because being uncomfortable doesn’t mean you’re broken...it means you’re human, and maybe you’re growing.
